Not every crazy pro-Russian conspiracy is a Russian psy-op.

[–] Diplomjodler3 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But this one fits too well into their narrative to be accidental.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Which narrative is that? "Putin is a hero?" Because other than that, I'm not seeing a narrative.

[–] Diplomjodler3 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The Western elites are trans dimensional space vampires that eat children and Great Leader Putin bravely fights for "traditional values" or some shit. Basically the whole QAnon, Alex Jones type idiocy.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That sounds like an American narrative, not a Russian one.

[–] eran_morad 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The American narrative is the Russian narrative. It’s obvious propaganda.

Okay, now you're coming up with a conspiracy theory to explain why this isn't a conspiracy theory.

The adrenachrome thing came from Q, who was not Russian but the father and son team of Jim and Ron Watkins, and they bastardized it from Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

No Russians were necessary here. Just crazy people.

[–] Diplomjodler3 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And you think the Russian troll farms had nothing to do with amplifying those theories?

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think there is no reason to assume that is the case here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No reason to assume, there's a ton of evidence of Russian influence on western social media, especially on q-anon, anti-vax and conspiracy theories, they do this to destabilize western countries, and as you can see Trump got elected.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 2 days ago

You're literally making an assumption unless you have evidence about this specific instance.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I still stand by the assertion that the "good guy Putin" part of the narrative is no accident.

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 3 days ago

Because crazy right-wing people don't think Putin is a good guy who does heroic things? Only Russian operatives think that? Seems like a waste of said operatives in that case.

But like… is this a bot account though?

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 3 days ago

Only if it's got a matching bot YouTube account with someone else's videos.

Shit, sorry. Confused that with Ruptly.
